Jonny Evans is says he couldn’t turn down “ambitious” Leicester City after leaving West Bromwich Albion.

The centre-half, who was captain at The Hawthorns last season, has moved to the King Power Stadium for a fraction of the fee that Albion turned down this time last summer, after the club suffered relegation to the Championship.

Evans, considered to be one of the best defenders that the Baggies have boasted in recent history, soured his reputation amongst the fanbase this past season after being part of the infamous quartet who allegedly stole a taxi while on a training camp trip to Barcelona in February.

Now having departed, the Northern Irishman has spoken of how he hopes to “feel valuable” at his new club.
